ONE DAY NEARER HOME.

Pm one day nearer my home to- night,
Nearer than ever before;
One day nearer the fields of light,
Away on the "other Shore"
I'm one day nearer to wearing the crown,
Nearer than ever before;
Nearer 10 laying my burdens down,
Safe on the Evergreen shore"
Pm one day nearer the "pearly gates,''
Which the angels left star;
In the golden city harp awaits
My coming from afar.
I'm one day nearer my "Father's house."
Where the shining angels be;
I'm one day nearer the great white throne,
And the beautiful cry stal sea.
I'm one day nearer the shining host
ON the fadeless, golden shore;
They crossed the mystic stream Of death,
And will come to US no more.
Yet listen--I wait for "phantom barge"
To bear me to their side,
watch the "boatman's" noiseless oar
To sweep the silvery tide.
The "boatman" pale will come for me,
And grasp my wasted hand;
Together wen cross the unknown sea,
This side Of the golden strand.
And when we reach the "other Shore
shall reach the angel band,
Who snail wait TO deck my YOU hful brow
With flowers OF the "fadeless land,'
IT. M. Hancock.

The Great Celebration,


The celebration in Philadelphia
last week, Sept. Is. l6, and II, OF the
first century of the formation of the
Constitution of the United States,
was the grandest affair yet Witnessed
in this country.
On the first day was a parade IL
Illustrating the industries of The Ma
tion and the great change in them
from now and q hundred years ago.
This was an immense exhibition of
all the mechanical and other arts and
works.
The second day was the military
display. in which $1,000 men were
in line. making the grandest parade
of the militia of all the States. The
Governors of the different States were
present, riding at the head of their
men.
The third and closing day cere-
monies were of a literary and social
character, in which addresses were
made by the President of the United
States, the President of the Centen-
NAL, and other distinguished citizens.
An address on the Constitution was
made by Justice Miller Of the United
States Supreme Court. 1t would
take q book TO contain and tell all
said and done. Suffice for us to say
the first Centennial celebration OF
constitutional government in this
country was grand success.

A AGibbet % Feet Long.

CHICAGO, Sept lS.-Preparations
were begun yesterday for the execu-
tion of the seven Anarchists in the
county Jail on Friday, November H..
Sheriff Matson will receive 500 for
that days work, as the county allows
him 500 for every man hanged.
Just how the big job will be accom-
plished has not been decided. The
three Italian murders were hanged to-
gether on the same scaffold, and that
bit of enterprise taxed to the utmost
limit the hanging capacity of the Jail
One scheme is to hang the men in
pairs, leaving Albert K. Parsons to
the last as the seventh or odd man.
The law says the men must be exc
cuted between the hours of 10 in the
morning and in tho afternoon, and
it is thought the intervening time
will suffice for the work on this plan.
If this mode is adopted the modern
weights will be used. Sheriff Mat
son is opposed to the plan because OF
the long-drawn-out agony of a day
work at hanging, and favors the old.
fashioned platform, trap and drop.
There is just enough room in the
Jail corridor to erect an extension gi5-
bet twenty eight feet long, giving
four feet space for the drop of each
body. Seven ropes will hang from
the cross-beam, which in turn will be
supported by five iron arms. The
traps will be arranged to drop from a
long bar extending the length of the
platform by which the seven traps
can be released simultaneously and
the seven Anarchists be all launched
into eternity together. The exten.
sion gibbet will be erected privately
in some secret place during the next
fortnight, and experiments will be
made until it works in satisfactory
manner. If the condemned Anarch.
lists really hope for success in appeal
ing to the Federal Supreme Court or
to Gov. Oglesby, their bope is not
shared by Sheriff Matson. Jailer Folz
or States Attorney Grirnell, and all
necessary preparations Tor the execu
tion of the sentence will proceed rap
idly.
The Sheriff has tried hard to keep
from the papers the fact that be is
preparing to put away the doomed
men and he will have succeeded until
the publication of this. Spies
Schwab and Engel are confident that
their execution " ill take place at the
time fixed by the Supreme Court, and
Parsons is the only one of the number
who expresses confidence in the ability
of their friends to save their lives.

Addison J. Brinker, Esq. of Alle-

About the Fair.

AnOtlef DuLlcr + ar uaS cOuc ouu
gone and all agree it was the largest
and best yet had. More people were
supposed to be in Butler on Thurs
day, the third day of the Fair, last
week, than on any former day in our
history. To see the people coming
aud returning in their buggies. wag-
ons and other conveyances it was a
wonder where they all came from.
While the success of the Fair was
thus great this success itself brought
to light some Improvements much
needed for the future. The first and
most important of these brought out
distinctly is the need of more road
ways for reaching the grounds. The
only road now for vehicles to the
grounds, from where the same con-
meets with or leaves the main, or
New Castle road, is narrow one
and in some places is unsafe when
crowded, especially to persons on
foot. We are told that on several
occasions last week persons walking
to the Fair came near being run over.
There is no side or foot walk, and
fast drivers rush along and often SO
close to the fences as to endanger life
This road should not only be improv
ed but enlarged if possible. Besides
this, other roads to the ground might
be opened which would facilitate the
means of reaching it. Visitors from
the whole southern end of the coun
ty would be saved near a mile IL
travel if short cut way was opened
acrossthe valley oftbecreek from town
As it is they have to take a round o.
almost circuit, to some of them
Another road needed would be one
on the west of the ground so thai
persons from that part of the county
could enter without travelling so tai
around as they now have to do.
This could be accomplished by en-
larging the grou nds which we are
pleased to learn the managers OF the
Fair have in contemplation OF doing
They should own the ground out te
what is known as the Pearce road
1t would put the ground in better
shape and the Fair last week showed
an enlargement is already demand
ed.
Some are also of The opinion thai
there should be more convenlences
erected in the way of seats and shell
ters. Many women with children
and aged persons were much fatlgueo
last week in not finding seat to BEL
and rest upon. Then in case OF 9
sudden storm or heavy rain coming
up the want of sheltering places
might be severely felt. Such an
event on Thursday of the Fair might
have created panic among 80 large
q crowd as might have resulted 10
personal injury to many. With the
enlargement Of the grounds these
sheltering places and seats could DC
provided. More water and water
closets it is said should also be pro
vided.
These suggestions are made IN tne
interest of the Fair, The one just
had proves the growing interest tax.
en- in it and the probable increase OF
numbers at it in the future.
We presume o list of the premi
ums granted will be published. Thlf
should be done, that all exhibitors as
well as the public may know the sue
cessful ones. There were 30 many
exhibitors and 30 great a variety OF
articles on the ground that it would
be impossible for US, or for any pa
per, to give all of them by name. we
think it would pay the management
to have them published.

may think to comfort the bereaved wife, feel

is it not true that when we, who have buried
members of our own families, witness the
sorrow of another, the tears we shed are often
the result of the re-opsning Of wounds. which
our one-time srmpathisers thought time had
